SHAKER-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 774,126, dated November1, 1904.

Application filed May 14,1904. Serial No. 207,994. (No modem.

To all whom, it may concern:

to without departing from'the spirit or sacri- Be it knownthat I, JAMEsO. I/VTNDER, acitificing any of the advantages of the same.

zen of the United States, residing at Eastpoint, in the county of Fultonand State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Shaker- Hanger, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shaker-hangers or devices for suspendingshakers in shaking screens in order that a shaking or combinedvertically and horizontally reciprocatory motion may be imparted to suchshakers or screens for the purpose of eflecting or assisting ineffecting separation of material supported thereon.

This improved shaker-hanger, while capable of being utilized in allplaces where shakers and shaking-screens are employed, has beenespecially designed for use in connection with cotton-seed-oil machineryand for special application to the shakers in which the separation ofthe hulls from the meats of the cottonseeds is effected.

Among the objects of this invention are to provide a device of thisclass of extreme simplicity, durability, and economy of construction,also to provide a device in which friction and consequent wear and tearshall be reduced to a minimum.

A further object is to provide a device composed of but very few partswhich may be easily assembled, disconnected, and adjusted in operativeposition as may be required.

IVith these and other ends in view, which will readily appear as thenature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in theimproved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts,which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed outin the claims.

In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple and preferredform of embodiment of this invention, it being under- I stood, however,that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural detailstherein exhibited,but that the right is reserved to make any changes,alterations, and modifications which come fairly within the scope Insaid drawings, Figure l is a side view of the improved shaker-hanger,showing also a portion of the inclined-track use'djin. connectiontherewith. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view showing the device in theposition shown in Fig. 1.- Fig. 3 is a side elevation, partly insection, showing a part of the shaker-frame and of ashaker supportedthereon by'the improved hangers.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated by similarnumerals of reference.

The improved shaker-hanger which forms the subject of this inventionincludes a supporting-plate 1, provided with perforations 2 for thepassage of bolts whereby it may be secured to the outer side of ashaker-casing, said plate being provided with a flange 3, adapted torest upon the upper edge of said casing.

At the upper end of the plate 1 is formed a cylindrical head 4,extending over the flange 3 and carrying a pin or shaft 5, which extendsin the opposite direction from the side of the plate upon which theflange 3 is located. Upon this pin is journaled an annularlygroovedroller 6, which is secured in position by means of a washer 7 andcotter-pin 8, said roller being provided upon its inner side with alateral extension or hub portion 9, whereby it is spaced from the plate1.

10 designates a flange-plate angular or L- shaped in cross-section andthe upstanding flange of which is wedge-shaped or inclined, saidwedge-shaped flange constituting a track upon which the grooved roller 6may ride.

In operation a plurality of the flange-plates 10 are bolted upon the topbeams of the frame 11, which serves as a support for the shaker 12, tothe side of which latter the hangers are bolted or otherwise secured insuch a position that the grooved roller 6 of each hanger shall properlyengage and ride upon the inclined track thus provided. Reciprocatorymovement is imparted to the shaker by suitable means, preferablyincluding a pitman 13,

of the invention and which may be resorted 1 connecting said shaker withany suitable source of power. When the device is in operation, theshaker when moving in an upward direction upon the inclined tracks willhave a tendency to toss the material supported thereon in an upwarddirection, thus thoroughly agitating the same and assisting in theprocess of separation. hen the shaker recedes and moves downwardly uponthe inclined tracks, it will practically be pulled from under thematerial which is to be separated, which will practically result infeeding the material upon the shaker in a direction opposite to thereceding movement of the latter.

It will be understood that in practice any desired number of my improvedhangers may be applied to a shaker, also that any wellknown and approvedmeans may be employed for operating the latter.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is- 1. Ashaker-hanger consisting of a plate having on one side thereof alaterally-extending flange constituting a seat for the shakercasing, anda head extending laterally above said flange; a pin extendingtransversely through said head and projecting upon the side of the plateopposite to the flange forming the shaker-seat; and a grooved rollerjournaled upon said pin; the said roller and the said shaker-seat beingspaced apart by the body of the plate and disposed in parallel verticalplanes. I 2. A shaker-hanger consisting of a plate having on one sidethereof a laterally-extending flange constituting a seat for theshakercasing and a head extending laterally above said flange; a pinextending transversely through said head and projecting upon the side ofthe plate opposite to the flange forming the shaker-seat; and a groovedroller journaled upon said pin; in combination with a supporting-frameand an inclined, Wedgeshaped flange-rail upon said frame affording atrack for the roller.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
